[GaNeSh]

hey exactly what does Plutarch mean when he refers to the 'rhetra'??

 

[hipPo3]

He reports how the Rhetra, obtained by the Delphic Oracle, decreed that Lycurgus should establish a sanctuary to "Zues and Athena"; divide the poeple into "tribes and Obia" and to appiont a gerousia which comparamised 30 men including the kings.

i think thats the gistz of it ..
